"Schmeltzer said he was pleased that a "high profile" person as Senator Clinton would address his organization?"

I guess it doesn't matter to Schmeltzer what the Pope says...and parishes & pastors in America wonder why their attendance has fallen!

"The Cardinal had some very understandable misgivings but he just wanted to be assured this was not a political stop,"

Why, no. Not at all. Nothing political about this. She's only running for president!

There are plenty of socialists in the lower orders of the Catholic hierarchy, and they are probably thrilled to have her speak.

“The Cardinal had some very understandable misgivings but he just wanted to be assured this was not a political stop...”

Sounds like the Cardinal is easily fooled.

"The Cardinal had some very understandable misgivings but he just wanted to be assured this was not a political stop," Schmeltzer told LifeSiteNews.com.

Well as long as The Cardinal is assured that Hillary's appearance is not about politics, I guess it must be ok.

I hope she is cancelled! (they never think twice about cancelling Republicans, and it would send a GREAT message)

I thought the good Cardinal recently fractured his hip, not his reasoning.

The Chicago-based Mercy Home for Boys & Girls, an organization run by Catholic priests, invited Mrs. Clinton despite the Church's prohibition of giving pro-abortion political figures a public forum to speak.

It looks like money corrupts. Why else would the Mercy Home for Boys & Girls compromise their integrity?

The Catholic Church openly supports illegal immigration. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise to anyone that it would have no qualms about inviting a pro-baby-killing politician to speak as well.

As always....follow the money.

"The Cardinal had some very understandable misgivings but he just wanted to be assured this was not a political stop,"

The Cardinal is a fool too?

It continues to puzzle me why the majority of Catholics still vote for Democrats. Having boarded with a devout Catholic family for 2 summers as a kid and came to know and love them almost as my own family, I would have thought that all practicing Catholics would be so offended by the pro-abortion, pro-homosexual policies of the Democrats that they would renounce their traditonal allegiance to the Democrat party that was probably formed during the FDR/depression era.

Most Republicans I know were once loyal Southern Democrats, but have since switched to the GOP mainly due to the extreme liberal social policies of the Democrats. OTOH a devout Catholic man from Michigan who once worked for me and whose wife and kids marched in anti-abortion protests every year remained a rabidly loyal, Reagan-hating, Clinton-loving Democrat for as long as I knew him. Go figure.

Disclaimer: I am NOT trying to turn this thread into another Catholic vs Protestant free for all, just mentioning the rather odd inconsistency I have observed concerning this issue.

“The Cardinal had some very understandable misgivings but he just wanted to be assured this was not a political stop,”

Not even a Cardinal could be this niave.

A pro-abortion nitwit speaking at a Christian foundation. That’s like having ted kennedy speak at a rally for prohibition.
